[Tfug] Hate to say I told you so..

[Andrew Ayre]

This is from wikipedia:

"Darwin does not include many of the defining elements of Mac OS X, such 
as the Carbon and Cocoa APIs or the Quartz Compositor and Aqua user 
interface, and thus cannot run Mac applications. It does, however, 
support a number of lesser known features of Mac OS X, such as 
mDNSResponder, which is the multicast DNS responder and a core component 
of the Bonjour networking technology, and launchd, an advanced service 
management framework."

Is that correct? Sounds a bit limited if you cannot run Mac applications...
